We don't think twice about taking a rest after vigorous physical activity, yet many of us are reluctant to take a break after an extended period of mental effort.
According to the science this could not be more wrong. Taking breaks is vital to high quality performance whatever sphere of activity you're engaged in.
This webinar from the Bank Workers Charity explores the frequency and lengths of breaks you should be taking to ensure high levels of wellbeing and productivity during your working day.

Sandwich generation carers are people who have caring responsibilities at both ends of the age spectrum: looking after children and caring for elderly too. We've teamed up with the Bank Workers Charity to explore different aspects of the lives of sandwich generation carers and review steps psychologists have identified to help avoid the multiple demands taking a toll on health and wellbeing. This is a free webinar, open to all members.
Sandwich generation carers are people who have caring responsibilities at both ends of the age spectrum. They’re still looking after their children but also look after an elderly relative, usually a parent. There are estimated to be 2.4 million sandwich generations carers in the UK and at times their lives can feel very stretched by these responsibilities, especially if they're also holding down a busy job.

This webinar from the Bank Workers Charity looks at both the perimenopause (the transition into menopause) and the menopause and provides guidance on where to get specialised support. It also looks at the significant impact of menopause in the workplace, and at how some employers are becoming menopause friendly. This is a free webinar, and is designed for, and open to, all genders.
About a third of the UK female population are peri or menopausal, however it still remains difficult to talk about and there is still too little awareness about what it is and how it’s experienced.
It usually occurs in mid-life, between ages 45-55, although the menopause is possible at any age. Most will get menopausal symptoms, but may not recognise them as such, or know who to talk to about it.
This webinar from the Bank Workers Charity looks at both the perimenopause (the transition into menopause) and the menopause, examines the current conversation about menopause and what we’re not talking about, and provides guidance on where to get specialised support.
It also looks at the huge impact of menopause in the workplace, and how some employers have become menopause-friendly.
This webinar is designed for, and open to, all genders.
